Total Time: 4 hrs 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups heavy cream
  2. 1 cup whole milk
  3. 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  4. 1 cup fresh raspberries
  5. 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  6. 1 cup brownie chunks
  7. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, and granulated sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar completely dissolves and mixture is smooth.
  2. Remove cream mixture from heat and let cool to room temperature. Stir in vanilla extract and refrigerate for 1-2 hours until thoroughly chilled.
  3. While mixture is chilling, prepare raspberry puree by blending fresh raspberries in a food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
  4. Gently fold raspberry puree into the chilled cream mixture, ensuring even color and distribution.
  5. Pour mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer's instructions, typically 20-25 minutes until soft-serve consistency is achieved.
  6. During last 5 minutes of churning, gradually add dark chocolate chips and brownie chunks, allowing them to distribute evenly throughout the ice cream.
  7. Transfer churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover tightly with plastic wrap.
  8. Freeze for an additional 2-3 hours until firm, allowing flavors to meld and ice cream to set completely.
  9. Before serving, let ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier scooping.

Tips

  1. Use high-quality ingredients: The secret to extraordinary ice cream lies in premium dark chocolate chips and fresh, ripe raspberries.
  2. Chill your mixture thoroughly: Ensuring the cream mixture is completely cold before churning is crucial for achieving a smooth, creamy texture.
  3. Strain raspberry puree carefully: Remove all seeds for a silky-smooth consistency that screams professional quality.
  4. Don't rush the freezing process: Patience is key - allow the full 2-3 hours of freezing time to let flavors develop and texture set perfectly.
  5. For easier scooping, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  6. Get creative with mix-ins: Feel free to experiment with additional chocolate chunks or raspberry swirls for extra indulgence.
  7. Use an instant-read thermometer when heating the cream mixture to ensure it doesn't overheat and curdle.Pro tip: This recipe is best enjoyed within 3-4 days of preparation for maximum flavor and texture!
